Find Ancestors

Please help me figure this out...
My grt grandmother Irene Violet Golledge, 1901 Newton Abbot married Alfred William or William Alfred Churchward in 1919. Her brother Percival Norman Golledge married Edith Florence Churchward in 1922. Yes that's right, Alfred William's sister. Now if you're not already confused this is where I get lost...

I am trying to find the parents of Edith Florence and Alfred William Churchward. I have the marriage cert for Edith and Percival which records William Churchward as Edith's father. I am awaiting Edith's birth cert to find out her mother's name. I don't believe there were any other children in this family... where do I go from here?

Thanks in advance
Audrey

Hi Audrey

What is Ediths age on the marriage cert and her fathers occupation?

Regards
LfW

What was William Churchward's occupation?

As you've ordered Edith's birth cert.........please tell us when and where she was born..........

This could be Alfreds birth

Births Sep 1897 (>99%)
Churchward Alfred William Newton A. 5b 133

So we should be able to find him on the 1901 census.

Edith is 21 years old on the cert.

Thanks I have followed that thread before...and family information makes me think that it's not the correct family.

Thank you Lost for words
I believe they only had two children Edith Florence and Alfred William

How can I be certain that I've got the right family thread?

Unfortunately, although we've asked about William's occupation...........there's no guarantee that his occupation in 1922 was the same as in 1901...................

You will have to wait for the birth cert.........

I think I will just have to wait until Edith Florence's birth cert arrive and then I will no her mother's name and if it is Ellen then it must be the right family.

Great minds think alike.
It's just frustrating.

Hi Audrey

The birth cert should confirm parents names and perhaps give a more accurate occupation as the birth was only 6 months after the census was taken. This will hopefully confirm whether the above are the correct family. Could Caroline have died?

I wonder if William was Frederick William, could this be the parents marriage:
